[Archived] Who Allowed The F.A. Cup To Die

[joey_big_nose]

Fridel mistake- 1-1

[Shevchenko]

Ball hits the crossbar and bounces off the back of Friedel in to the back of the net.

Radio Rovers calls is abysmal goalkeeping.

1-1

[modes98]

oh dear god! Brad makes an 'error' and its 1-1 to the ex-dingle.

edit: Sky say that it was a well placed header into the top corner and not a brad error. Went straight in?

edit2: Niell booked (5th booking out vs pompey)

This looks bad

[SAS]

and an own goal by brad friedel, how unusual

[Blackpool_Rover]

Bounced down off crossbar and went in off his back aparantly

[Nayef]

Equaliser.

1-1

[Shevchenko]

3 out if 4 defenders now booked :-/

[Blackpool_Rover]

bloody ell, looks like nelsons gonna get his chance next week. Neil and matteo now suspended.

[joey_big_nose]

Mokoena on for Ferguson. I hope he can pass.........

[modes98]

this is not going well. Cardiff guy diving trying to get dom sent off!

Bazza injured, mokoena on for debut.

It is not going well.

[SAS]

i hope the ref isnt fooled by this supposed diving

[modes98]

half time: 1-1

fear for the second half with 3 players on yellow cards, the crowd are starting to come into the game. With the ref already on there side its getting more and more differcult.

1-2 mokoena to score the winner

Edited January 8, 2005 by modes98

[James No. 7]

2 defenders now booked and only mokoena on the bench!

Don't forget that Steven Reid can play at full back, if we really need him down there.

[joey_big_nose]

I wonder weather Hughes will be interested in bringing Gallagher on. Without Ferguson we are lacking some creativity which Paul could provide. It would be a bit risky but maybe take Thompson off and hope that Mokeona and Flitcroft can soak up their midfield.

[joey_big_nose]

Is anybody else perplexed by the Rovers world commentary team? Niel is absolutely first class- honestly as good as anything Sky or the BBC have while his partner (cant remember his name, the one who announces the team etc. at ewood) is awful. He gets right on my nerves.

[Nayef]

Another Pedersen has just scored for a lancashire side.

[modes98]

after 20mins of useless nervous footy, we have suddenly come to life.

Been denied a legal goal for a dickov challange on the keeper which thommo finished, followed by a dickov long shot which made the keeper make a stunning save and then MGP hits the bar when it looked all the way in direct from a corner!

[SAS]

i think its going to be a replay, the luck just isnt on our side, the bar and the ref

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

Looks like the 'soul crew' will be visiting Ewood.......just great!

Matteo is shyte IMO.

jemal johnson on!!!!!!!

[Andy_f]

FT 1-1

[andy82]

could be worse, at least were not at home to exeter

[Maverick]

A disapointing result, but good to see MGP get a goal and 90 min for the first time in a long long time.

[tchocky]

At least we got a replay. Good to see Oldham knock out the Keegans and Exeter earning a replay at Old Trafford.
